Indian batsman and Chennai Super Kings vice-captain Suresh Raina has been named as the Cricket World® Player Of The Week after he helped his side win the 2010 Indian Premier League.

Raina made up for a rare failure in the semi-final win over the Deccan Chargers with a superb all-round performance in the final, where he scored a half-century, took a wicket and a catch as his side beat the Mumbai Indians by 22 runs.

He took advantage of some lax fielding to score 57 not out in 35 balls, hitting three fours and three sixes as the Super Kings posted 168 for five.

He then trapped Harbhajan Singh in front to end with figures of one for 21 in two overs and he took an impressive diving catch to dismiss Saurabh Tiwary at deep midwicket.

He finished the IPL with 520 runs in 16 matches at 47.27 and he also took six wickets and held ten catches.

Other contenders for the weekly award included West Indians Stafanie Taylor and Kieron Pollard, New Zealand's Brendon McCullum and Raina's former India team-mate Anil Kumble.

Cricket World® Player Of The Week

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Kumar Sangakkara

There were a number of worthy contenders for the latest Cricket World Player Of The Week award following the first full week of competition at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013. High-class performances from members of all eight competing nations were weighed up but Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara has been chosen as the award winner.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Ian Bell

The battle for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award is a close run one. Any one of six players could win the award, but it is the under-rated Ian Bell who takes it. Bell hit two unglamorous half-centuries for England last week - both of which led to wins and helped them get back on track after a poor showing in the first part of the ODI series against New Zealand.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Martin Guptill

Martin Guptill is a shoo-in for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award. The 26 year-old from Auckland hit back-to-back match-winning hundreds in the opening two One-Day Internationals against England and has almost single-handedly thrown their ICC Champions Trophy plans into disarray.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Joe Root

The battle for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award is a close contest between four men. Kamran Akmal and Kevin O'Brien both played starring roles in the highly entertaining ODI series in Clontarf, while Graeme Swann and Joe Root excelled during the rain-hit second Test at Headingley.

CW Players Of The Week - James Anderson & Stuart Broad

There can be only two possible contenders for this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award and it is virtually impossible to separate them. Stuart Broad took the man of the match award at Lord's for leading the second innings demolition of New Zealand, but without James Anderson's first innings five-fer there might not have been much of a run chase for the Black Caps on day four.

Cricket World Player Of The Week - Brendan Taylor

There can be only one winner of this week's Cricket World Player of the Week award. Zimbabwe's captain Brendan Taylor almost single-handedly led his side's batting in the Test win over Bangladesh in Harare, becoming the first Zimbabwe captain to score a century in each innings of a Test match.
